The Holidays Come to Disneyland! A week-long series

My Journey so far: Disneyland has finally received it's long-awaited
Holiday merchandise collection. After a Photo Safari last week to see
all of the goodies, and the related Very Expensive shopping trip, I have
returned to bring you the scoop. I'll be breaking the collection into
bite sized pieces, so check back here each day this week to see it all.
If you can't wait that long, much (but now all!) of the collection is
already on MouseShoppe. First, I showed you the BIG pieces, the items
which can decorate a whole room all on their own. Then, we looked at the
SMALL pieces, the tiny little touches which can spread holiday cheer all
over the house. Yesterday, we looked at the whole coordinating collection
of Glass Balls, Resin Ornaments, and the incredibly popular Glass Bells.
If you missed any of these photos, you can go back and look at the previous
days!

Today I'm going to finish the series with all of the Odds and Ends that
make decorating so fun. We've got tree toppers and stocking holders and
even MORE ornaments! Lots of great items today to finish your Holiday
Trim! (And remember, you can click on any photo or name to go right to
that item at Mouseshoppe)

Another interesting series are the Half
Ball Ornaments. Eeyore,
Minnie
and Goofy
are the first of the group, and coordinate with the ornaments we showed
you yesterday. The whole collection has not arrived yet, so keep checking
back.

These Plush Frames make a great gift for an older
child. Pooh
and Mickey
are cuddly enough to snuggle with, and they can hold a family photo.

We thought these were really cute, and they were flying
off the shelves. Mickey
and Minnie
are Snowmice! Both have a knit scarf, and Mickey wears a cap. Minnie even
has a sprig of holly in her bow - and look at those lashes!

If you're a big fan of Snow Globes, here's a nice small
addition to your collection. The Mickey,
Minnie
and Pluto
snowglobes are very affordable, and come on a brightly decorated base.

Here are two more accessories that you need for your home
this holiday. The Pooh
and Friends Stocking Holder is the best stocking holder I've ever
found. Most decorative holders are really wimpy - too light to hold even
a small stocking. This one is really heavy - perfect to hold all of those
over-stuffed stocking on your mantle. Pooh and company are placing the
finishing touches on top of the tree, while Tigger rides down the hill
on his sled ( right into your stocking!)

The
Disneyland Holiday 2000 Throw Blanket is wonderful to keep you cozy
inside when it's frightful outside. The Blanket is 4' x 6', and features
Mickey and Friends in the Disneyland Holiday 2000 Logo. (It's hard to
see the whole logo in this photo, so take a look at the Collector's
Plate from this collection to see the full picture)

The Perfect Disney Tree is not complete without the Perfect
Disney Tree Topper. There are two this year, and they are both wonderful!
Tinkerbell
has been the most popular, and has already sold out! (Just have to have
her? Send me an e-mail at this link,
and I'll add you to the waiting list!) Mickey wants to put the star on
your tree, and this topper will let him do it in style!

WOW! That's all I have for you! Oh, except One More Thing:
If you won't be able to make it to either Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom
this Holiday Season, and would like to see what's going on, you'll want
this video. The cover of The
Magic of Christmas at Disneyland invites you to: "Join Mickey,
Minnie and the gang in a holiday wonderland of parades, carolers and good
old fashioned cheer while they celebrate the season as only Disney can".
It's a great video, and it will give you the taste of Holiday Magic that
only happens at Disneyland. Enjoy!

I hope you've enjoyed this trip through the shops at Disneyland!
I'm excited to see so many Park-Specific and Unique decorations this year.
Be sure to check back with me, as I am sure that there are going to be
lots of new decorations still to come this year!
